Looking for a body builder/workshop for a custom Jaguar Bass body

The Jaguar Bass is technically a bass rather than a standard offset guitar, but I had a question and wanted to post it here!

Hey everyone,

I saw a Jaguar bass in this color on Twitter, and I'm thinking of ordering one. Specifically, I'd like the following specifications:

Finish: Light relic multi-layer nitro finish (Black over Lake Placid Blue / Ocean Turquoise with wood showing through).

Right now, RebelRelic Guitars is my top candidate since they have prior experience building Jaguar Basses look amazing.

Before I jump in, I’d love to ask two things:

How is RebelRelic’s reputation regarding their custom body craftsmanship and multi-layer relic finish quality?

Are there any other luthiers or workshops (US or EU) you’d highly recommend for a custom body build and heavy relic paint job like this?

Appreciate any insights or experiences you can share!

I'm thinking of building a preamp similar to the Matchless DC-30 using FETs. Could you recommend some FETs that can replace the tubes, as well as any manufacturers you'd suggest?

Hi everyone,I am planning to order a custom Stratocaster body from MJT. I want a specific custom color (Black to See-through Silver Burst on Alder) and a specific 60s body shape (deep 1/2" radius edges).

I sent them my detailed specifications, but I only keep getting automated or template-like replies saying "That sounds great! Are you ready to get started?"

I am worried that they might not actually look at my detailed requests once I pay.

I am a bit worried about a few things based on some reviews I read:How accurate is their routing (pickup and neck pocket) and edge radius?If the product arrives different from what I specified in the emails, do they handle exchanges or corrections well?Does their Project Manager double-check all specs properly before they start painting?

I would love to hear from anyone who has ordered from MJT recently!Thank you!
